Weekend Box-Office: HALLOWEEN Holds at #1 with $32M Second Weekend

weekend-box-office-halloween-hunter-killer

For a second consecutive weekend "Halloween" topped the box-office charts and helped turn October into a record-breaking month, the highest grossing ever. Meanwhile, the only new wide release, the Gerard Butler submarine thriller "Hunter Killer" failed to impress.

Find out more about the weekend box-office after the jump.



The Blumhouse reboot/sequel "Halloween" scored $32 million in its second weekend, after a considerable 58% drop. However, its total domestic cume has hit an impressive $126.6 million after just 10 days, against a reported $10 million budget. Overseas, the film is the #1 release with $25.6 million from 62 countries, bringing its international total to $45.6 million, while globally the film has topped $170 million.

Warner Bros' "A Star is Born" held over in second place with $14.1 million after dropping just 26%, which brings its domestic tally to $148.7 million. Overseas, the film has topped $100 million. Its global cume has now reached $253 million.

In third place we find Sony's "Venom" with $10.8 million. The film has dropped 40% this weekend, and looks like it might start slipping down the charts in the following weeks. Anyway, the film has brought in $187.2 million domestically and another $321.1 million overseas. That's a solid $508.4 million worldwide. Not bad at all.

The sequel "Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween" also held over in fourt place with $7.5 million. The film is enjoying the pre-Halloween weekend buzz, and only dropped 23% from last weekend. Although not particularly impressive, the film has grossed $38 million domestically, and also raked in $24.2 million internationally.

The weekend's new wide release, the action thriller "Hunter Killer" underperformed and opened in fifth place with $6.6 million from 2,720 theaters, while Lionsgate was expecting something closer to $9-10 million. The film wasn't a critical favorite (36% on Rotten Tomatoes and 42 on Metacritic), but moviegoers seemed to enjoy it ("A-" on CinemaScore).

In other news, the coming-of-age dramedy "Mid90s", Jonah Hill's directorial debut based on his own experiences growing up in 1990s, has expanded nationwide (an additional 1,202 theaters) and managed to finish in tenth place with $3 million.

Another semi-wide/semi-limited release, Universal's comedy sequel "Johnny English Strikes Again" starring Rowan Atkinson finished just outside the Top 10 with $1.6 million from 544 theaters. Pure Flix's faith-based drama "Indivisible" also failed to open in the Top 10 with $1.5 million from 830 theaters.
